Notes to answerer
Asker: I think you're right, Per. Here's an explantion of frequency inversion: "One of the most common scrambling methods used is frequency inversion. As the name suggests, this process takes the frequency of the input speech signal, and inverts it to provide a mirror image at a different frequency range" http://www.cescomm.co.nz/about/scrambling.html). Does this sound right?
